Lambrini Girls – Who Let The Dogs Out (Limited Edition Blue Translucent Vinyl)
After bursting onto the indie scene with the ranting post-punk explosion that was their 2023 EP, You're Welcome, Brighton, U.K. power duo Lambrini Girls keep the levels of earned outrage cranked up high and apologies at near zero while continuing to take on topics like gender inequity, political and cultural atrocities, and bad behavior in general on their full-length and City Slang debut, Who Let the Dogs Out. A peek at the track list will reveal that vocalist Phoebe Lunny and band (bassist Lilly Macieira and an unofficial drummer) don't mince words here, and while much of the 29-minute, no-slow blast focuses on toxic masculinity, entries such as "Filthy Rich Nepo Baby," "Special, Different," and "You're Not from Around Here" illustrate that capitalism, xenophobia, medical pathologizing, and patriarchy are all co-conspirators. Lambrini Girls turn the spotlight on size and weight misogyny on "Nothing Tastes as Good as It Feels" -- a play on the infamous "skinny feels" quote by supermodel Kate Moss -- with chugging guitar distortion and angry lyrics that reflect personal experience with body dysmorphia and regretted diet-culture complicity ("Stuck in a cycle of bitching and restriction/And then bitching and restricting again!"). That song ends on a relatable prolonged wail and series of expletives. Another album highlight, "Love," examines being attracted to bad actors who offer anything but. This type of vulnerable, personal testimony makes takedowns like the scathing "Big Dick Energy" all the more cathartic, and helps make Who Let the Dogs Out a standout among class-conscious contemporaries. - AllMusic Review by Marcy Donelson
